WildThings Floating Swan & Duck Food - With Added Vitamins & Minerals, Tasty & Nutritious Dry Nuggets (5kg)

This is great for feeding geese and they love these pellets. They float on water which is really handy. Lately I've experienced long delays in receiving my orders. Most recent order has been delayed twice now - ordered in September and still not in transit - which is unacceptable.

Oh Wow !! The Swans and Ducks on my local nature walk absolutely l-o-v-e this tasty, healthy food (much better for them than bread) and they l-o-v-e me as well !! Moorhens will also take the granules, when they can get a look-in... Currently a family of mum and 4 nearly full-grown juvenile Mallards (I've known them since they were tiny) will literally come charging towards me from as far as 100 metres away - they have become quite tame, and, once they have scoffed the lot, they will keep following me, ever hopeful of a few more tasty morsels... a bit awkward sometimes (and terrible if I forget to take some with me!) I was relieved in a way when a pair of swans that had been on the watercourse for several months, cleared off elsewhere in the late spring, they were getting a bit aggressive, hauling themselves out of the water and stomping after me, and hissing when the food ran out..! (P.S. September now, and the swans have returned.... oh dear..!) The birds will take the food both on the land / sprinkled in the grass, and in the water (which is preferable as it can sometimes get a bit stuck in their gullets without some liquid to help it down). The first 5 kg pack I bought, the granules (each about the size of a small pea) floated well, but those in the second pack seem to sink after less than a minute or so - - this is OK if the water is shallow, the ducks seem happy to upend and grub about for every last morsel (quite entertaining too) - but, in deeper water some food could be wasted, unless you throw only a small amount at a time, so that it all gets scoffed before it sinks.. (Maybe this was a one-off issue with this particular pack - I will update on it in due course. ** Update - November 2015 - the third pack I have bought - and the granules in this one seem to float well / do not sink :) ** It's great fun anyway, and nice to know that this food is actually good for them.

I bought this food on the recommendation from some friends who feed the birds regularly. I have been through all kinds of wild bird feed with little to no success i.e. they would snub my healthy food for scraps of bread. The Wild Things bird feed has proven to be a success, so it is definitely worth the price. It is more suited to adult birds and larger young due to the size. They are very handy as they float (which many others don't) meaning they can grab some later if they don't snaffle them at the time. (for the younger birds, I take some regular bird feed too, as you'll see in the video) I can highly recommend Wild Things and am already on my third bag for the birds along the canals. (geese, ducks and swans)

The local ducks, swans, geese and other aquatic birds love this duck food. It is a joy to watch them hurtle across the lake towards me when they see me coming now. They much prefer this to bread and have on occasion left people feeding them bread to come over to me presumably because they like this duck food more! At this time of year it is especially important for us to feed the local ducks and birds as food is more scarce for them. This duck food is far more nutritional for them and the pellets are ideal for children with small hands. These pellets also float which makes it easier for the ducks and they can eat every last pellet that you through to them. Feeding the ducks is a fabulous way of getting children to appreciate and look after their local wildlife and getting them on the right road to caring about their neighborhood and the environment.

The ducks love this product, genuinely. Quite a wait however, for the delivery.

I’ve been feeding a pair of swans for a couple of years now who live at the bottom of our garden. They absolutely love this food & look like they’re in tip top condition. I also fed the 3 signets that they had last year about 3 times a day from hatching. All 3 signets found the smaller size of this feed easy to eat. They all survived & grew into strong healthy adult size before flying to join a local flock in February this year. The food floats so it’s easy for them to eat. Moorhens & ducks also eat it & I now have about 30 different water fowl including 2 Egyptian geese that come for this food.

Like a lot of people, I started walking in the park as it was one of the few things to do during lockdown. I did read the RSPB advice about what to feed swans (bread is ok in small quantities) but I rarely have bread. So I bought this to feed the swans, geese and ducks. I was slightly worried when a large bag arrived. What would happen if they didn't like it? Not a problem. They can't get enough of it. It floats on the surface and the swans just hoover it up. Now onto my second bag. A bit expensive, but worth it for a few minutes of happiness

Swans and ducks love this. As soon as they see my mustard coloured coat they fly, swim or come running.

Mes cygnes le mange très bien donc d'après eux ça a l air d'un très bon produit Je repasserai une commande

best product I have ever bought for the wild ducks

I like their service it was good two years ago , this year 2023 lot of supplier s accounts don't show that they don't have the supplies available or they are in shortage of supplies ! But overall I never had any issues before this year 2023 They got qualified food for my duck pets and swans so I love feeding them healthy food with their required vitamins to keep them healthy ;
